Hi Mike.

Do you have the Marlin electrical diagram?

How are you with electrics? First I would lable all the wires on the Marlin loom. This will get you to know which wire does what.

First thing you need to do, is put in the Marlin wiring loom. These's a trick here. Feed the back end of the loom through the front bulkhead. There's a little hole in the ally front bulkhead, near the steering column. Run it across to the passenger side and down to the rear of the car.

Start off the wiring with the ignition switch.

Thanks for the reply I have pulled the marlin loom into place and ignition switch is sorted as far as I know lights heater wipers all up and working indicators work Hazards still to be done and have the joy of this to come.My main concern is how the rover 5as is incorperated into the marlin loom.As far as my electrical skills go I have little skill but am quite logical and persistant

Hi Mike

I did this little diagram for the ignition switch. Might come in handy.

The hazard switch was fun working out. Needed a litle alteration with the wiring. Using a mk3 200 hazard switch.



As for the 5as bit. I did not need that on mine as I had the old 220 turbo. But don't think it was a big job. Marlin actually did a sub loom for this. But others got round it.

I'll have a look at the electrical diagrams in Rave and see what's involved. In the mean time, some might pop along for advise.

Not sure if you have this diagram. I've send you via PM the other notes I have re 5as.
